      Sure, if you say so. On a different note, I recently watched Paradise on Netflix, where you can basically live forever if you’re rich enough. In the background someone says on tv at one point something like “the climate crisis has been solved by the top 5 richest people”, which made me laugh quite a bit.

        Tbf the top 5 richest people could do theoretically do a lot to solve the climate crisis, but it would mean ceasing to be the top 5 richest people, and I’m disillusioned of them ever doing so voluntarily

          I found it funny because it’s probably true. And since they live forever in the movie they were motivated to fix the planet for themselves. Not sure if that came across, but that’s what I meant.

            The key to fixing the climate crisis, is to make top billionaires immortal…

            Somehow, it gives me pause and makes me think which one’s worse.
